Standard (EADGBE)

I'll let the music play while love lies softly bleeding

In heavy hands on shadow lands

As thunderclouds roll in sunset is receding

No summer wine, no Valentine

A tiger trapped inside a cage

An actor on an empty stage

Come see the show

Rock ‘n' roll can heal your soul

 When broken hearts lose all control

Some rivers still run dry and jungles burn to embers

Gold autumn days must fade to grey

There is a reason why a haunted man remembers

One frozen night, his darkest day

A tiger trapped inside a cage

An actor on an empty stage

Come see the show

Rock ‘n' roll can heal your soul

 When broken hearts lose all control

A passion killed by acid rain

A roller coaster in my brain

But how would you know?

In your satin, silk and lace

 Another time, another place

A tiger trapped inside a cage

An actor on an empty stage

Come see the show

Rock ‘n' roll can heal your soul

 When broken hearts lose all control

A love let loose and painted black

A train stuck on a broken track

Well, I'll let it go

Rock ‘n' roll has healed my soul

 The stage is set, on with the show
